The Olson LaserPlus LP-OLAR Advanced LBand Receiver offers a feature-rich, versatile system in a
compact rack-mount package. The Advanced L-Band Receiver has been engineered to meet today's high
performance standards for L-Band transport with an extreme bandwidth range that will also allow the sys-
tem to handle the next generation of satellite signals. The Advanced L-Band system is ideal for a wide
variety of communications applications, including L-Band satellite antenna remoting, trunking radio,
telemetry tracking, and time and frequency reference distribution. The extended frequency range to 4GHz
allows this system to accommodate additional transponders coinciding with common European satellite
communication applications.
The enhanced bandwidth to 4GHz is also unique in that it facilitates stacked LNB applications to accom-
modate additional transponders containing enhanced DBS programming services (e.g., HDTV, local
channels, etc.) over single-mode fiber for DBS television distribution in campus, fiber-to-the-premise
(FTTx), and multiple dwelling unit (MDU) environments. The receiver is offered with 75 Ohm impedance
using “F” connectors or 50 Ohms with SMA connectors. Optical connector options include SC/APC and
FC/APC.
The standard PIN-detector receiver offers high sensitivity for a maximum optical link budget. An optional
APD detector increases optical sensitivity by 7dB. Built-in test points, LED indicators and alarms allow the
receiver to be easily set up and maintained.
The LP-OLAR Receiver is housed in a machined Aluminum enclosure that fits the standard chassis allow-
ing up to 14 or 15 modules in a 3RU space. (The exact number is determined by the number of power
supplies in the chassis, single or dual).

Physical Characteristics
NOTES:
1) The RF gain changes 2dB for each 1dB of optical loss.
2) The receiver P
1dB
and IP3 is almost constant over the full RF
gain range.
3) Noise figure is a complex variable that is influenced by the
Tx and Rx attenuator settings as well as the optical loss.
See the manual for detailed data.
4) The Hi/Lo Gain switch on the front panel changes the gain
by +10dB. The hexadecimal rotary switch on the front panel
changes the gain in 1dB steps. The “0” setting on the rotary
switch is the lowest gain (0dB). The “F” setting on the rotary
switch is the highest gain (+15dB).
5) Optical Loss Budget based on +10dBm transmitter launch
power(DWDMDFBLaser).
